Epoch Tx steering fix

Post by crazydave »

When I got my Epoch, I couldn't use the stock radio, because the steering trim did not have enough range to get it tracking straight.

I tried shaving off part of the knob to allow more adjustment, and that helped, but it still pulled to the left slightly. I shaved off more, butthe pot had no more room for adjustment.

So I thought maybe adding a resistor might help, when I noticed there was already a resistor that looked added on. So I clipped it, and I'll be damned, the car actually pulled to the right, and I had to adjust it left, to which I had plenty of room for adjustment.

Now that it worked, I needed to work on the flimsy feel. So I put a screw in the back to secure the adjustable handle, and that helped quite a bit.

Now I have no complaints with the controller. It actually has a fairly nice feel to the controls. :-o
...crazy man, crazy...dig it.
